Dolores Harris Moulton announces her candidacy for re-election as Cheatham County register of deeds.

Moulton received certification as a Certified Public Administrator from the University of Tennessee. She volunteers and serves the community as an active member of many civic organizations. She is a member of the Petway Church of Christ.

During her terms as register, she has recognized the importance of innovation and remaining current with the technology of our day.

"I have initiated the procedures to eliminate paper waste through modern accounting procedures and document preservation. These innovations have saved our county’s financial resources by in house back-scanning and indexing of records. Not only has back-scanning saved money, but this office has preserved important legal documents from damage and has made all scanned documents available online," she said.

The office of register of deeds requires dedication, experience and integrity, and Moulton said she has had exemplary audit reports throughout her terms in office.

"As a Cheatham County taxpayer, I am keenly aware of our economy, and if re-elected, I will continue to use my administrative experience and knowledge to maintain an efficient, financially sound and responsible office," she said. "My goal is to provide a well-run and accessible office in a polite, courteous and professional manner that brings pride to our county."
